After 26 years of working at Engineering Enterprises, Inc. (EEI) in the civil engineering and land surveying arena, David Burroughs, P.E., senior vice president, is set to retire January 31. He began his career in civil engineering as a volunteer with the Peace Corps, providing rural development project design and construction in the country of Thailand. In 1993, he joined EEI as a project engineer, became a principal/vice president in 1998, and senior vice president in 2006.
